Ingredients

• 8 pieces boneless skinless chicken thighs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
• 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create an herb marinade.

Step 3

Pat dry the chicken thighs with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Step 4

Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl or resealable plastic bag and pour the herb marinade over the chicken. Ensure that each thigh is well-coated with the marinade.

Step 5

Let the chicken marinate for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors. For more intense flavor, marinate longer in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.

Step 6

Arrange the marinated chicken thighs in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the meat is tender and juicy.

Step 8

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve the herb-infused baked chicken thighs with your favorite low-fat side dishes or salads for a wholesome meal.
